Canon's flagship EOS-1D Mark III is the most advanced EOS Digital SLR ever produced. It has a new 10.1 megapixels CMOS sensor (APS-H size) with Canon's EOS Integrated Cleaning System and a 3.0" LCD monitor with Canon's Live View technology. The 1D Mark III has a redesigned 100% viewfinder, a new 45-point AF system, and can shoot up to 10 fps continuously with a maximum burst of 110 shots. Dual "DIGIC III" Image Processors work in tandem to speed up every process while refining image quality; a new, lighter body has improved weather sealing and shutter durability. Every facet of the EOS experience has been enhanced with the 1D Mark III. It's the new standard.

Canon Fastest 1 Series Camera
Strengths: Lighter than its predecessor 1D Mark II, longer batter life, 14 bit, clean high ISO image quality, large LCD, live preview
Weakness: Heavier than 5D to carry it all day long, price. Canon should throw in E1 hand strap if they charge that much.
It's a joy to use this camera. Shutter noise seems quieter than 5D. Body styling is very ergonomic and feel very solid. Weather sealed with Canon L lens will be handy if there is need to shoot under the weather.
